Huanlejia Food Group Co., Ltd. (300997) has recently captured market attention with its volatile stock performance, soaring 61.36% over four trading days from November 7 to 13, including two 20% limit-up rallies. However, the stock retreated over 10% on November 14 amid broader market corrections. This short-term frenzy starkly contrasts with the company’s fundamentals. Huanlejia reported a 47.06% year-on-year decline in 2024 net profit attributable to shareholders, with revenue and net profit for the first three quarters of 2025 also shrinking. Against a backdrop of slowing demand recovery, the market is closely watching whether the company can break through bottlenecks via product innovation, channel optimization, and cost control—key tests of its long-term value.
The company disclosed abnormal trading volatility, noting its stock price had deviated by over 30% across three consecutive trading days (November 7, 10, and 11). Huanlejia clarified no undisclosed material events or operational changes warranted updates. The rally coincided with a sectoral uptick in food and beverage stocks, though peers like Sanyuan Foods also saw sharp reversals post-gains.
Financially, Huanlejia’s struggles are evident: 2022–2024 revenue fluctuated between RMB15.96 billion and RMB18.55 billion, with 2024 net profit halving year-on-year. Q1–Q3 2025 revenue fell 22.25% to RMB1.042 billion, while net profit plummeted 87.43% to RMB11 million. Operating cash flow dwindled to RMB4.1 million for the period, with RMB423 million in cash reserves by Q3-end. The company declined interview requests regarding these trends.
Cost pressures drove Huanlejia to raise prices by 1%–8% on products generating RMB795 million in 2024 sales, effective July 2025, while selectively cutting prices 1%–5% on certain coconut drink SKUs (RMB5.19 million 2024 sales). Analysts suggest diversifying into premium segments (e.g., low-sugar, functional beverages) and expanding plant-based protein lines to mitigate reliance on traditional products. Channel strategies should prioritize snack franchising, instant retail, and lower-tier markets, coupled with enhanced digital marketing.
For Q4, Huanlejia plans to leverage holiday sales peaks and execute targeted promotions ahead of Lunar New Year, while advancing its Indonesian coconut processing project.
